History islam colonialism Indian Ocean British Empire transregional history Islamic reform Aden Muslims Qadi Sayyid Sufism thema EDItEUR::Q Philosophy and Religion::QR Religion and beliefs::QRP Islam::QRPP Islamic life and practice A great deal has been written about the webs, nodes and networks created by Britain’s Indian Ocean Empire during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Much of the focus has been on the political, legal or economic consequences of empire; this book redresses the balance, devoting its attention to the personal and social. Using the British Settlement of Aden, it examines the development of a local Muslim community within the spaces created by imperial rule from the mid-nineteenth through mid-twentieth century. It explores how individuals from widely disparate backgrounds brought together by the networks of empire created a cohesive community utilizing the one commonality at their disposal: their faith. Specifically, it examines how religious institutions and spiritual ideas served as parameters for the creation of community and the kinds of symbolic and cultural capital an individual needed to attain communal membership and influence within the confines of imperial rule. 2018-01-24 23:55 2017-12-01 23:55:55 2020-03-24 03:00:27 2020-04-01T13:12:32Z 2020-04-01T13:12:32Z 2017-12-31 book 642736 OCN: 1028771683 9780748697663 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/30766 eng application/pdf n/a 642736.pdf Edinburgh University Press 100960 2a191404-86cd-479e-afc8-ff2b8d611a94 b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 9780748697663 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) 100960 KU Select 2017: Front list Collection Knowledge Unlatched open access |
